I feel so bad for peertube. It's such a great idea, but until it has a full platform wide search options, and regular content producers in areas OTHER than technology, it will never catch on.

Peertube vs Youtube in numbers: 21k / 2.7b

Yeah they need to improve quite a bit because the platform is harder to use in comparison to Lemmy and Mastodon.

Who needs to improve exactly? The PeerTube software or the instances hosting PeerTube?

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I would say both as Peertube needs an app and instances need to remain up and running.

True, an official mobile app is in the works. Will probably release at the end of the year. We also need more "general" PeerTube instances.

Unfortunately the official app is currently only being developed for android so I won’t be able to use it on my iPhone. I should try to support them more so they can get around to it quicker.

I would love to see a Canadian Peertube instance perhaps Fedecan may be able to look into it.

The application will be cross-platform and so work on an iPhone

Awesome news 👏

peertube.ca has been registered since last year, but no Peertube instance yet. Perhaps in the future. However, if you check this list https://instances.joinpeertube.org/instances?sort=country&page=1 you will see lots of Canadian instances.

Oh that’s interesting. I appreciate your sharp eye.
